Lea-Ann Belter Sabrina Bride – Caroline

Lea-Ann Belter bride Caroline was all smiles while exchanging vows with Jason at Fort Williams State Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. So much so that, looking at her pictures, it’s hard not to smile back!

From getting ready to playing golf, our beautiful bride looks totally natural (and happy) wearing her Sabrina. In fact, things stay fresh and fun right through their reception at the Portland Country Club where Caroline and Jason cut a rug, along with their grandparents!

Bridal Style {Clutches}

Unless your bridal gown has pockets (some of Lea-Ann Belter’s can be made with them – just ask!), you’ll need someplace to keep your lipstick and license on your wedding day.

As far as we know, you’ve got four options:

  1. In your groom’s jacket: Though this seems like a good idea, it won’t be when you try to apply warm, soft lipstick or his coat is left behind.
  2. With a bridesmaid, parent, or trusted friend: Your things will definitely be safe! However, as the night wears on and your keeper of miscellany is nowhere to be found, not so much.
  3. Leave your stuff at home: Great, unless you go for a post-wedding cocktail in your gown. One of our brides did this and was carded! Luckily her groom and bridesmaids were there to insist she was not some crazy girl wearing a white gown who was trying to sneak past the bouncer. (We know this sounds absurd but swear it’s true!)
  4. A clutch: Not only will you be in charge of your things, but a new purse is always fun to shop for. Choose one that can be worn after the wedding and it’ll be money well spent.

Beautiful, Bright Bouquets

Spring is in the air!

Well, maybe not. But that’s not going to stop us from pretending. We’re ready for bright colors and warm(er) breezes, and flowers are the perfect way to bring on the sunshine.

Bright, cheerful blooms, specifically.

We can’t decide which is better at singing ‘Spring’ - monochromatic punches of color or rainbow bunches. What do you think?

Gowns in History {18th Century Court Manteau}

Modern wedding gowns are a reflection of past fashions, stretching back for centuries. We love researching what women have worn, and when we came across the image below, we were inspired to share.

Well, actually, the first thing we thought was, “How on Earth did the woman who wore this sit?”
